Abstract
A bird cage which comprises a base, four sides having a lower inverted U-shaped edge member, a top, and a seed catcher which outwardly extends from the sides to catch and direct debris, such as discarded bird seeds, shells, etc., which fall out from the sides. A rectangular-shaped side retainer comprising four horizontal elongated bars connected by four corner mounts is mounted above the seed catcher and releasably attachable to the base to securely support the U-shaped edge members of the sides in a spaced-apart relation to the seed catcher. The attachment of the sides to side retainer provides an unobstructed opening or passageway under the length of the securely supported side for directing discarded bird seed into base.
